It is my pleasure to serve as a School Counselor at Schimelpfenig for 12 consecutive years. I have spent the last 25 years of my career in education, of which 20 have been in PISD. I graduated from the University of AR at Little Rock with a Masters in Counseling Education. Go Trojans! I have been married to John Burks for 23 years. We have an awesome daughter who is a senior in Frisco ISD. I enjoy traveling, reading nonfiction books, spending time with family, and serving my community. I believe in the power of community utilizing a village approach synchronized with a personal touch. Did I tell you how much I enjoy working with my students? I absolutely love it!
